《When There's Quiet》Questions and clones
Advertisement
It wasn't long before the titans started bombarding Violet with questions.
"Why didn't you tell us you were a godling?"
"Why didn't you tell us that your mother was a FREAKING DEMON?!"
"Why didn't tell us about your father?"
"When did you have so many sisters?"
Violet had started to go dizzy from all those questions.
"Okay, I didn't tell you guys I was a godling because Dad told me to keep it a secret.And what's wrong with having so many sisters?"
"Nothing." The titans said in unison.
The others stayed for a few days before they left, and the tower was back to normal again.
It wasn't long before the alarm started ringing.
The titans flew to Jump City at top speed.
When they arrived, Slade seemed to be waiting for them.
The titans chased him into an old and abandoned building, and lost him.
Failing to locate Slade the Titans decided to look around.
That when they noticed all the glass tubes around them. Most of them had red liquid in them. Robin suspected that it was blood. There was only three in the whole room that had green liquid in them.
They approached the first green tube and saw a girl. There was a heart machine connected to her. It was beeping at a slow pace. Cyborg went to the key pad and pressed the open button. The liquid seemed to dissapear and the tube opened.
Raven carried the seven-year-old-looking girl out of the tube. She opened her eyes and looked around and said: "Hello. Can you free that boy over there too?" She pointed to the tube next to hers.
After the tube opened, Starfire carried carried the boy out. He looked the same age as the girl.
Violet went to the back of the row of tubes with Jericho to free the last child. They noticed that the child was identical to Jericho, just smaller. Violet opened the tube and he fell straight into her arms. She carried him back to the other two children and sat him down.
The titans decided to observe the children.
The girl had violet hair with a few green streaks in it. She had green eyes, not lime green like Jericho's but a darker green like Beast Boy's. She had pale skin like Raven's.
The boy, who had just woken up, had red hair like like Starfire's and blue eyes. He started to speak a language that sounded like Tamaranian. He jumped up and hugged Starfire. Starfire squealed and hugged him back.
The last boy was the spliting image of Jericho, everyone agreed on that. But he had Violet's big and shiny eyes. He tried to speak but no sound came out of his mouth, which startled the titans. Cyborg did an X-ray scan and confirmed that he was born mute.
All the titans turned toward Jericho and Violet. They looked as confused as the titans did.
"Okay, so we have a boy that looks like Jericho but has Violet's eyes and he's mute. Sounds like you two have a kid." said Cyborg while scratching his head.
Jericho and Violet didn't answer. All they did was stare at the mini-Jericho, whom was now staring back.
They decided to take the kids back to the tower and test their DNA.
Two hours later....
"So?"
"Couldn't find anything, I handed the thing to Batman."
Robin nodded and continued to look at Starfire fly in circles with the red-haired boy on her back. Beast boy was playing with the girl, who had taken interest in puzzles. The mini Jericho had dissappeared.

Violet opened her room door and found a blonde boy reaching for one of her normal harps. He jumped and put his hands behind his back with a guilty look on his face.
"I'm sorry. I'll never do that again."
Violet was shocked. "You can communicate through telepathy?"
The boy nodded. He expected Violet to scold him for sneaking into her room, but she didn't.
"You want to play the harp?"
The boy nodded. Violet smiled and took her smallest harp and handed it to him. But he told her that he didn't know how to play. She smiled and played a song for him. He managed to repeat the song perfectly after that, which impressed her.
Beast boy called for her to come down. She brought mini Jericho with her. Starfire flew over and started to coo at him.
Violet had a seat on the couch. And Batman started to talk.
"These children are actually clones. Although they still have the ability to feel and express emotions. Their parents are the problem though."
"Who are their parents?"
"Who should I start with?"
"This adorable little boy." said Starfire, holding the red haired boy up.
"His parents are you, Starfire and your boyfriend, Robin."
"I thought you never joked."
"I'm not joking."
"You're serious?"
Batman nodded. Starfire leaped into the air with joy, swinging her child in circles. Robin looked astonished. He wasn't ready for a child.
"If red head is Starfire's. That means mini-mutie is Violet and Jericho's." said Beast Boy excitedly.
"Correct, Beast boy. This boy's DNA did have half of Violet's and Jericho's."
"And her?" asked Raven skeptically, pointing toward the girl, whom was sitting on her lap and was staring in her eyes.
"Who do you think it is?"
"Me and Beast Boy."
"You just answered yourself."
Raven warned Beast Boy if anything happened to her child, he would never see the light of day again. Starfire was happy with her son, and so was Robin. Jericho was cradling his sleeping son.
Violet was bothered though.
"One, I wanted a girl for a child. Two, he's a clone. Three, a godling doesn't have children like that. He's only a quarter godling."
Violet thought and thought. But she just couldn't decide if she would love her son.
For the next few days, Violet only came out of her room to fight crime and eat. But when she came out to eat, the others probably had already eaten or it was too early.
Jericho had tried to talk to her multiple times but she never told him what the problem was. Although she did promise him she would come out of her room and play soon.
It had been one week since Violet made her promise to Jericho. Jericho knew her MP3 player had run out of electricity for she did not even leave her room when the alarm rang.
Jericho called his son over and told him to go to mummy's room. Jericho handed him a MP3 battery and told him to give Violet the battery. His son obediently went without protesting that he was in the middle of a game with Riana, the female clone.
The six-year-old almost raised his hand to knock his mummiy's door when it opened.
"Oh.....It's you." said Violet.
"Daddy told me to give you this." the little boy held up the battery like it was the most precious jewel in the world.
Violet was just about to open her mouth to thank her son when he asked her:

"Mommy, do you hate me?"
For the first time, Violet didn't know the answer to a question. She dropped to the ground and looked into her son's eyes.
"No, I do not hate you."
"Then why won't you come out and play with me? Aunt Raven and Uncle Garfield play with Riana all the time. Aunt Starfire always flies Sam around the tower. Even Uncle Richard comes out of his office to play with Sam sometimes. Once, I heard another boy from the grocery store ask his dad why he never saw his mom and his dad replied: "Your mom hates you." How can you not hate me? "
"Mummy doesn't hate you. Mummy's just confused."
"What are you confused about? What question has rendered in your mind for so long, it has caused you to stay in your room for two weeks?!" said the boy, tearing up.
Violet couldn't answer. It broke her heart to see her son like this. For a moment, it seemed like it didn't matter if he was a clone anymore. He could still feel pain, still feel emotions. He could learn. It seemed like he wasn't a clone anymore. Violet wrapped her arms around her son, hugging him tightly.
"I promise you, I will never leave you alone anymore."
Violet looked up and saw her smiling boyfriend.
"You know, I haven't named him yet."
"Why?"
"I knew you'd want to name him."
"Vick Wilson."
"That's a nice name."
Violet came down the stairs, carrying Vick.
"Hey, Violet. You finally came out of your room." called Beast Boy
"Your child has missed you, Violet." chimed Starfire.
"What's his name?" asked Raven.
"Vick Wilson"
"NIce name"
"Thanks. What's your daughter's name?"
"Riana Arella Logan"
"Nice. What about you, Starfire?"
"Sam Richard Grayson."
Starfire suggested going to the 'mall of shopping' to get the kids a few things. So they did.
Riana practicly dragged Garfield to the puzzle store. She had him buy many sets that were cartoons, all thirty pieces. Sam had chosen something that looked like a space cartoon, forty pieces. Vick had chosen a violin with a thousand pieces. Which startled Cyborg.
"But they are seven and this guy is six!"
Violet shrugged.
Next, they went to the clothes store and bought dozens of clothes. Riana's was mostly purple and green. Sam's were red and blue. Vick had chosen shirts of all colours, though he prefered purple a little more.
They went to the toy store after that. Riana and Sam took practicly everything from the racks. They were forced to put everything back, of course. Riana finally settled on a baby doll, a ball and a tea set. Sam chose a few space trucks and a toy gun. All Vick took was a small guitar.
After they paid for the toys. Vick refused to put his toy in the bag. He hugged it all the way to lunch.
For lunch, they went to a buffet. Riana had soup and noodles. Sam mixed mushrooms with ice cream, making Robin gag. Vick didn't demand for anything, he just ate anything his parent put on his plate.
"Yo, Violet. I just don't understand your child. Taking a thousand piece puzzle, choosing only a twenty dollar guitar while Rob and B pull out a hundred dollar bill out of their wallets. Man, your son is obedient too."
Violet smiled. Everyone had finished eating. Riana and Sam raced to the treats table almost immedietly after they finished eating.
"Vick." Violet said as Vick started to get up from his chair.
"Yes?"
"Take only three." Violet had expected him to start protesting, but he didn't. He simply nodded.
Riana returned with a pile of candy in her arms. In the pile were: ten Kit kats, seven lollipops, five bars of chocolate, berry bubblegum, ten packs of gummy bears, etc. Sam flew back with some weird looking candy. Vick returned with three chocolate balls with rainbow sprinkles.
"Vick, why did you take three identical pieces of candy? You don't want to eat the same three pieces of candy, do you? There are still lots of candy over there to try." asked Raven.
"I am not going to eat the same thing, Aunt Raven." replied Vick.
"But you took the same kind of candy." said Robin with a questioning look on his face.
"Two of these are for mummy and daddy." said Vick, pointing toward two of his chocolates.
None of the titans could answer to that. Starfire had begun to cry. They were all greatly moved by Vick's actions.
Vick handed each one his chocolates to his parents. Violet was touched. She had abandoned him for two weeks making him think she hated him, yet he still expressed his love so much to her. Not that she couldn't sense it of course, that was for Laura.
"Go on and take two more of your candy, Vick."
"What do you mean, mummy?"
"You gave two of your candy to mummy and daddy. You have only eaten one. Go take your other two."
"I cannot do that."
"Why not?"
"You said I could only take three pieces of candy, I have already taken three, it's just that I gave two to you and daddy." Vick replied.
Violet nearly broke down at that point. She had treated him so badly yet he obeyed her in every way. He never asked for much. He never protested. He never refused to do anything she wanted him to do.
She said something to him which she blocked from the others except Jericho which made him giggle.
When they got back to the tower, Violet served Vick a bowl of his favourite strawberry ice cream.
Riana and Sam pleaded for some too.
"No, you've had too much sugar already."
The two kids turned to their parents for help but they sided with Violet. They didn't catch Violet give a wink to Vick.
Violet told Vick to follow her to her room.
Violet closed her door, opened one of her drawers and pulled out a wood piece a role of twine. She used super speed so Vick couldn't see what she was doing.
When she stopped he saw something that looked like a harp. Violet handed the toy harp to Vick.
"Go play."
"Thank you, mummy."
Vick went to the common room to play his harp. Aunt Starfire was flying Sam around as usual and Riana had fininshed her twentieth puzzle. He found Daddy in the kitchen looking like making cookies.
"Look, Daddy! Mummy made me a harp."
"That's very nice, Vick."
"I'm going to the roof to play."
"Alright."
Vick went to the roof and started to play. Starfire flew up and sat on the roof to listen. For the first time, Sam actually stayed put.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.
